Pak’s Fanatical Mindset is Well Known: India on Pak’s Reference to J&K at UN
The United Nations General Assembly has once again become a platform for India and Pakistan to engage in a war of words. This time, it was Pakistan’s reference to Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) that drew sharp criticism from India. India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, slammed Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary’s remarks on J&K, calling them “unjustified” and reflecting the “fanatical mindset” of the nation.
Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary, Tehmina Janjua, had made the statement during a discussion on the report of the UN Secretary-General on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. She had claimed that J&K was a “disputed territory” and that Pakistan’s stance on the issue was based on the principles of self-determination and the right to freedom.
However, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, was quick to respond, saying that Pakistan’s claims were baseless and unjustified. “The fanatical mindset of this nation is well known,” he added. He also noted that such “frequent references” would not validate Pakistan’s claim or justify its “practice of cross-border terrorism”.
India’s reaction was in response to Pakistan’s consistent attempts to internationalize the J&K dispute. Pakistan has been trying to seek support from the international community for its stance on J&K, but its efforts have been met with resistance from India and other countries.
Pakistan’s attempts to internationalize the issue are seen as a desperate move to divert attention from its own internal issues and to gain international sympathy. However, India has consistently maintained that the issue of J&K is a bilateral matter between India and Pakistan and that any solution can only be found through dialogue and negotiations between the two countries.
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, also highlighted Pakistan’s failure to provide any evidence to support its claims. “Pakistan has consistently made false and baseless claims about J&K, but it has failed to provide any evidence to support its claims,” he said. He also noted that the international community was aware of Pakistan’s track record of spreading false information and propaganda.
Pakistan’s former Foreign Secretary, Tehmina Janjua, had also claimed that India was suppressing the rights of the people of J&K. However, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, rejected these claims, saying that the people of J&K were enjoying all the rights and freedoms guaranteed to them under the Indian Constitution.
The Indian government has made it clear that it would not tolerate any attempts to internationalize the J&K dispute and that any solution to the issue would have to be found through dialogue and negotiations between India and Pakistan. India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, also emphasized that Pakistan’s practice of cross-border terrorism was a major obstacle to any meaningful dialogue on the issue.
Pakistan’s cross-border terrorism has been a major concern for India, and it has been repeatedly condemned by the international community. India has also taken several measures to counter Pakistan’s terrorism, including the surgical strikes and the Balakot air strikes.
In conclusion, Pakistan’s reference to Jammu and Kashmir at the UN General Assembly has once again drawn sharp criticism from India. India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Parvathaneni Harish, has slammed Pakistan’s claims, calling them “unjustified” and reflecting the “fanatical mindset” of the nation. India has also made it clear that it would not tolerate any attempts to internationalize the J&K dispute and that any solution to the issue would have to be found through dialogue and negotiations between India and Pakistan.
